"LOVE is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails."
*1 Corinthians 13:4-8*
October 13 - 14, 2012: Two hearts, two outdoor enthusiasts - one adventure, one wonderful mountain, one true love.
... inakala ko noon, eto na ang proposal climb. Richard and Lucy lng ang peg diba?
Looking back to that successful Fun Climb with Filipino Recreational Outdoor Group (FROG), my first footstep on the mountain top, a day that opened my eyes to a great adventure - through this couple who acted as my alalays and photographer. haha! After that, I've climbed this mountain twice without them.
It's so glad to reminisce those happy days with these itchy-footed-humorous people.
The P L A N N I N G . . .
Yun ohh! challenge to.. "paano namin itatago kay Joh?" tsktsk. So I called our friendships with kilig tune of course! Good thing, they agreed! While planning, may mga sablay pa sa usapan kaya muntik kami mahuli.. mabuti na lng more palusot. Then the last message I've sent kay girl "sorry talaga, hindi ako makakasama sa dayhike" (kasinungalingan 101). So we have secret conversations with Ice and Tin, white lies daw at higit sa lahat walang magpopost sa FB kahit excited na.
Grateful for FROG as kasabwat who shared their brilliant and creative ideas, who rendered their time and effort and be united for this special event.
This is the day! 11. 22. 14
At 4:45 AM, we went to South-West Integrated Provincial Transport Terminal to catch an early Nusugbu-bound bus. The other group's assembly time was few hours later than ours. It was around 08:00 AM when we arrived at Evercrest Golf Course, Nasugbu, Batangas. We first ate our breakfast in the nearest carinderia then we rode a trike to the main jump-off. Our trek started at around 9:00 AM via new trail while the other group was still at the bus terminal. It was already planned that we will not be in one group for some important reasons. hehe. First and foremost, hindi dapat malaman ni girl na kasama kami. Secondly, most of our groupmates were first timers so we take it slowly and enjoyably.
And everything had turned out gooood! (for more of our photos while on the trail, CLICK HERE).
The many faces of "WALANG ALAM".
Moment mo to.. sige na.. ikaw na talaga maganda!!
haha :-) #THIS!
haha :-) #THIS!
.. eto naman ang background music ni D.A habang nagtetrek:
"'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh
Give me all of you, oh oh.."
S U M M I T S H O T S
Yeaahh! When the other group left the summit, we had the entire mountaintop to ourselves. Mr. Sun was at its mightiest but it didn't stop us to pose and just enjoy the moment. (ung totoo, naiinip na po kami sa kakaantay! hehehe)
This is really is it! ... is it YES??? ... is it!
"Time stands still
beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything
Take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath,
Every hour has come to this
One step closer.. "
And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more.. :-)
CONGRATULATIONS!!! ... and you may live joyfully forever!

Pasingit po ng mensahe:
"As your two souls come together, so will your hearts.
May your love to one another always shine through the storms,
through the deepest valley and the highest peaks of life.
To cherish these memories that surely brings joy in your journey to
officially become one before God.
Continue to climb your mountains hand in hand.
through the deepest valley and the highest peaks of life.

Looking forward to the most beautiful wedding day!" - #tearyeyedmarge
"She is more precious than rubies;
nothing you desire can compare with her.
Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are riches and honor.
Her ways are pleasant ways,
and all her paths are peace. "

After all the pagod, uhaw, gutom at pagkahilo, eto lng naman ang narinig namin :
"mga sinungaling kayo!!" ang sweet diba?? hahaha. (Ice and Tin, captured nga ang pagpunas ng luha).

A Proposal Above The Mountain - 11/22/15 from Brian-Niño-Ed Flores on Vimeo.
Sinadya ko talagang isali ang screenshot ng FB post kong eto! hahaha.. Yung araw na inulan ako ng likes and comments notifications (celebrity lang?) Well, that's the so-called REAL JOY! Madami lng talagang natuwa at sumusuporta para sa bagong yugto ng buhay nila.
That was truly a wonderful day surrounded by happy people and fascinated with many shades of green and blue! The dreamy landscape of this favored Mt. Batulao was picture-perfect. Still amazed by my first love on this 4th visit!
JESUS is the Cup that won't run day!!!
"Blessed be Your glorious name,
and may it be exalted above all blessing and praise.
You alone are the Lord.
You made the heavens, even the highest heavens,
and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it,
the seas and all that is in them.
You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship You."
* Nehemiah 9:5-6 *
